Keith Richards doesn't keep a list of the Top 10 Rolling Stones albums. But he's happy to place Sticky Fingers, being re-released in a deluxe edition next week, near the very top.

"I put it up there," he says. "I don't No 1, No 2, No 3 them, but it's somewhere in that jumble, top four or five albums."

With its provocative Andy Warhol designed album cover and strong sax work on classics like Brown Sugar and Can't You Hear Me Knocking, the album has long been a favorite with fans who first heard it way back on its release date in 1971.
